Upon adding some htb queue rules (which I don't have handy ATM but can provide if needed), after some time we get such messages in the kernel log: Oct 3 17:04:04 sbd kernel: [ 1941.584154] tg3: eth0: The system may be re-ordering memory-mapped I/O cycles to the network device, attempting to recover. Please report the problem to the driver maintainer and include system chipset information.

After that, the machine is pretty much dead. It doesn't crash hard (the messages reached syslog) but the network no longer works, so a reboot is neccessary anyway. The machine is a Dell PE860 with two tg3 controllers (the second one is not used at all): 0000:04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5721 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 11) Subsystem: Dell: Unknown device 01e6 Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- SERR- TAbort- SERR-
